BB
BB asked Lois Lowry:

When you imagine the next few centuries of life on Earth, what possibility disturbs you the most? What gives you the most hope?

Lois Lowry The thing that disturbs me most is the self-interest and greed that prevents us as a society from repairing the problems that afflict us. What gives me the most hope is young people, their idealism and courage.

Brittany asked Lois Lowry:

I have to start off by saying I adore your work and am very excited to see the movie adaption of THE GIVER (and be a nerd to compare the differences between the book & movie, but that's neither here nor there). How do you find the right balance between emotion-delving and action in a story?

Marie asked Lois Lowry:

Thank you for the gift of your words and the worlds you have created for your readers! Your characters and places are so rich and varied, from Gooney Bird and Anastasia to Jonas, do you begin writing a new story with a character or with a place?
